I've been trying to research this topic for a while and haven't been able to find any good scientific answers.
I try to keep in shape, partially by lifting weights a couple times a week. I'm interested in adding some meatier lifts to my routine, like deadlifts, as well as increasing my weight/decreasing my reps on other lifts. But I'm concerned that increasing my grip strength will decrease my agility on the fretboard. If it will hurt my playing, i'm not interested.
Anyone else thought about this or had some experience one way or the other? (Or better yet, found any journal articles or scientific studies on the subject...)
Thanks all - this is really the only guitar forum I'm on, otherwise I might ask somewhere else too :-D
